Ugh. At this very moment, I have my school binder open as well as Lotus Wordpro, and a single page of a three and a half page paper open on it. My mind is blank, and I have Pure and AGN open in my browser window. (Clearly.) I have the Castlevania HoD Boss Battle blaring from my speakers and a recently taped episode of Smallville on the television diagonally behind me.

Buh. Hate writing papers. >.<' You know how you always put them off until the last minute, then you think that you can write it all within two hours or so, and you find yourself slamming down your book, cradling your face in your hands, and shouting "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID" over and over again until the paper magically writes itself? ... ... Yeah, I'm ... almost up to that point. :D Wish me luck!


Got any papers you need to write? ... Are you too young or too beyond school for them? How long does it usually take you to write them? Do you start planning it out as soon as you get the assignment sheet? Do you go to the library to research things, or do you do a lot of your research online?

I have a 6-8 page paper due in about 3 weeks for a critical thinking class, and also an 8-10 minute presentation to go with it, and its a 4-person group project. Its not fun AT ALL... We're doing most all of the research online too.

I just turned in a 5 page paper for my English class on Friday. I hope I get an A on it.

I just finished all my finals and turned in three large papers. Got A's on them. Worked hard, feels good to be done. Now I'm just napping and playing videogames for a few days until I start my summer job.

This quarter I am just taking Engineering Physics and Intro to Modern Logic. No papers for me, just tests. I would SO rather do 20 physics problems than write a paper. :)

I just wrote a paper on how different things have affected Orson Scott Card's life. I now hate Orson Scott Card...

I had a huge essay for humanities a while ago. 92%

I know exactly how you feels ST. I often procrastinate, but I get things done somehow. here's hoping you get it done on time.

I have to write a persuasive essay about why Hamlet brought upon his own death. It's due tomorrow and I have only like 300 words out of the minimum of 600 and I've already made my points. Most of my essay is going to be adjectives and adverbes.

I find I can only ever get some work done when I procrastinate and am under pressure.

I wrote something cheesy on my LJ. That's about it.

I didn't mind writing papers in school, as long as it was about something cool or easy to research.
